Holocaust Memorial Day

Holocaust Memorial Day takes place on the 27th of January every year, serving as a solemn day of remembrance for the millions of people who suffered and lost their lives in the Holocaust, under Nazi persecution, and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.
